Viral Video: PM Narendra Modi blesses newlyweds at Kerala's Guruvayur Temple

PM Modi embarked on a two-day visit to Kerala on Wednesday, engaging in spiritual activities and inaugurating key infrastructure projects. During his stay, he offered prayers at the revered Lord Krishna temple in Guruvayur and attended the wedding ceremony of actor-turned-politician Suresh Gopi's daughter.

A video surfaced on social media, capturing PM Modi blessing the newlyweds inside the temple.

Draped in a traditional ‘mundu’ (dhoti), kurta and a white shawl, PM Modi greeted devotees with folded hands.


The video concludes with the Prime Minister presenting a varmala to the newlywed couple, who seek his blessings after exchanging garlands.

In a post on social media platform X, PM Modi expressed gratitude for the warm reception from the people of Guruvayur, emphasising their support as a motivating force for his dedication to public service.

"It was early in the morning but people in Guruvayur came in large numbers to bless me. I cherish this warmth and it motivates me to work even harder for the people," he said.


He visited the Sreekrishna Temple in Guruvayur, where he offered prayers, presented ghee, and lotus flowers at the Sopanam.

"Prayed at the sacred Guruvayur Temple. The divine energy of this Temple is immense. I prayed that every Indian be happy and prosperous," PM Modi wrote on X (formerly known as twitter).

The Guruvayur Devaswom, dedicated to Lord Guruvayurappan, is a significant Hindu pilgrimage site, often referred to as Bhuloka Vaikuntham, signifying the Holy Abode of Vishnu on Earth.

During his visit to Kerala, PM Modi will inaugurate three major infrastructure projects worth more than Rs. 4,000 crore, viz., the New Dry Dock (NDD) at Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL); the International Ship Repair Facility (ISRF) of CSL; and the LPG Import Terminal of Indian Oil Corporation Limited at Puthuvypeen, Kochi, a release issued by the Prime Minister's Office stated.


These major infrastructure projects are in line with the Prime Minister's vision to transform India's ports, shipping, and waterways sectors and build capacity and self-sufficiency in it.

With the commissioning of these 3 projects, the nation's shipbuilding and repair capacities, as well as the growth of energy infrastructure, including ancillary industries, will get a boost. The projects will also boost EXIM trade, reduce logistics costs, drive economic growth, build self-reliance and create numerous domestic and international business opportunities.

This is the second visit of the PM to Kerala in the span of two weeks.
